To get News Article Title in Page Title like I just got working on this page:
http://www.elijahlofgren.com/news/241/56/
Update: The instructions below are now outdated. No source modification is necessary. See this post: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg58559
1. Open modules/News/action.detail.php
2.Find this line:
Code: Select all
$onerow->title = $row['news_title'];
3.After that line add this code on a new line:
Code: Select all
$this->news_title = $row['news_title'];
4.Log into your CMSMS Admin Panel
5.Go to "
Extensions » User Defined Tags"
6.Click the "
Add User Defined Tag" link.
7.In the "
*Name:" field paste this name (can really be anything as long as no spaces or special chars):
8.In the "
*Code" field paste this:
Code: Select all
global $gCms;
$module =& $gCms->modules['News']['object'];
if (isset($module->news_title))
{
$text = $module->news_title;
if (function_exists('str_ireplace'))
{
$params['content'] = str_ireplace('<title>', '<title>'.$text. ' - ', $params['content']);
}
else
{
$params['content'] = eregi_replace('<title>', '<title>'.$text. ' - ', $params['content'] );
}
}
9.Click the "
Submit" button
10.Now go to "
Extensions » Events"
11.Click on the "
ContentPostRender" link (Description is "Sent before the combined html is sent to the browser") URL will be like: /admin/editevent.php?action=edit&module=Core&event=ContentPostRender
12.From the dropdown select "
add_news_title_to_page_title"
13.Click the "
Add" submit button.
Whew, now when a news article is viewed, the page title should have the article title in it.
Hope this helps someone,
Elijah

Dear Elijah Lofgren,
Thank you this has helped me very much too! I have been having trouble with CMSMS's news plugin for sometime now, and this is one of the solutions I have been looking for.

Elijah, it'd be cool if you made this a bit more generic. Such that if you wanted to add stuff to the page title, you could just add things into smarty in either the page template, news, questions, etc, etc. and then use your UDT to handle modifying the title tag.
i.e. this could be added to the questions module detail template:
Code: Select all
{assign var='title_str' value=$record->question}
and then your UDT could use the value from smarty in the str_ireplace, etc.
Code: Select all
global $gCms;
smarty =& $gCms->getSmarty();
$text = $smarty->get_template_vars('title_str');
if (function_exists('str_ireplace'))
{
...
}
I'd love to include a UDT like this with the core.
else
{
...
}

This has stopped working in 1.0.5.
You'll probably need to edit the News file again.

Thanks, this worked great!
Our SEO guy says that NOT displaying unique titles for news-details pages is an SEO catastrophe.
I think there should be a checkbox called "display news title in browser title" or smth. Who should I email this suggestion to?
Kind regards
Eric

Modifying the source code is no longer necessary:
